Sad Eyes Lyrics
Looks like it's over, you knew I couldn't stay
She's comin' home today
We had a good thing, I'll miss your sweet love
Why must you look at me that way?
It's over...
CHORUS:
Sad eyes, turn the other way
I don't wanna see you cry
Sad eyes, you knew there'd come a day
When we would have to say goodbye
Try to remember the magic that we shared
In time your broken heart will mend
I never used you, you knew I really cared
I hate to see it have to end
But it's over...
CHORUS
CHORUS
Sad eyes, turn the other way
(Turn the other way)
I don't wanna see you cry
(Cry, cry cry)
Sad eyes, you knew there'd come a day
(Hey, hey)
When we would have to say goodbye...
(Ahhhh)
She's comin' home today
We had a good thing, I'll miss your sweet love
Why must you look at me that way?
It's over...
Sad eyes, turn the other way
I don't wanna see you cry
Sad eyes, you knew there'd come a day
When we would have to say goodbye
In time your broken heart will mend
I never used you, you knew I really cared
I hate to see it have to end
But it's over...
(Turn the other way)
I don't wanna see you cry
(Cry, cry cry)
Sad eyes, you knew there'd come a day
(Hey, hey)
When we would have to say goodbye...
(Ahhhh)

It's about a man who had an affair with another woman, but now it has to end it because his lady (wife or girl friend)is back. He wants his lover to know that it was not just a meaningless affair, that it meant something. He wants her to remember the good times they had. It's now time to say good-bye.
OMB I Thought This Song Would Have Sooo Many Comments. This Is A 1 Hit Wonder Also I Love It : ]
I literally cannot believe anyone would make excuses for this song. What is it about? It is about a man with literally no conscience, who was perfectly willing to ruin the lives of two women, making excuses for his behavior, and for why his mistress should be willing to go away quietly and remember him fondly, despite his despicable behavior. Truthfullly, it should be "black eyes" for what the mistress and the wife leave him with as they walk out the door. A man who behaves like this deserves to be pilloried, or worse.
@thirza1068 You prefer "Backdoor Man" perhaps? This is a song. Art. And the subject matter may be unpleasant to you, but your response is what I would call hysterical. Grow up or go back to nursery rhymes

@thirza1068 I don't see excuses at all. It's just people saying what the song is about. Is the guy a cheating jerk ? yes but let's remember that it's just a damn song.
